## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability crypto-fear-greed-news-sentiment-score-a8f8556f
```

Example prompt: What's the current crypto market sentiment — is it bullish, bearish, or neutral? Pull the blended Fear & Greed plus news headline score, and focus it on Bitcoin if you can.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single blended sentiment score that combines both the quantitative Fear & Greed Index and qualitative news-headline sentiment for the crypto market. It is especially useful when you want a fast, pre-blended signal rather than calling multiple APIs separately. Prefer it over raw Fear & Greed APIs when you also want news context, and over raw news APIs when you want the quantitative index included. The optional coin parameter makes it suitable for coin-specific sentiment without building your own aggregation pipeline.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream alternative.me API unavailable: stale or missing Fear & Greed data returned
- Invalid or unrecognized coin symbol: may return general market sentiment rather than coin-specific result
- RSS feed latency: headline sentiment may lag real-time events by minutes to hours
- No matching news for obscure coin query: sentiment may default to general market score
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol: 402 response requiring valid USDC payment

## How this service works

Crypto Fear & Greed Index: the market Fear & Greed value, classification and trend, blended with aggregated crypto news-headline sentiment into one bullish/bearish/neutral score, optionally focused on a coin or query. Data by alternative.me (attributed) + curated RSS headlines.

## Output

Returns a composite sentiment object including the raw Fear & Greed numeric value (0-100), its classification (e.g. 'Extreme Fear', 'Greed'), the current trend direction, aggregated news-headline sentiment score, and an overall bullish/bearish/neutral label — optionally scoped to a specific coin or query keyword.
